Vocalist Tomas Lindberg (THE GREAT DECEIVER/ex-AT THE GATES) has announced his departure from NIGHTRAGE due to lack of time with respect to his other bands. However, the band has already recruited new vocalist Jimmie Strimell (photo).

Here is what Tomas Lindberg had to say regarding the matter:

“Dear fans of NIGHTRAGE and metal in general, I´m sad to announce my departure from the mighty NIGHTRAGE. This is a band I joined some time ago to help my friend Marios [Iliopoulos] out. But over the course of time I’ve grown deeply fond of being a part of this extraordinary band. But as you might know I´m a busy soul and have no other option that to give up one of my projects, only becuase of lack of time. My only comfort is that NIGHTRAGE now can continue at full speed without me holding them back. But I will continue to follow their career, cause I have great expectations for the future of this band. Hail Marios! Hail NIGHTRAGE.”

Jimmie Strimell expressed his excitement on joining the band:

“Hello all you NIGHTRAGE fans out there. This is Jimmie the new singer, I just want to tell you that I am so happy to join NIGHTRAGE and it’s a big honour to take over after Tomas. I promise you guys that I will do the songs justice and you will not be dissapointed. Stay metal and have patience, cause soon we will come and rock your town.”
